Your Birthday for March 30, 2017

Your Birthday | March 30th, 2017

Born today, you are one of the most attractive individuals born under your sign -- in every respect. You are physically attractive, though perhaps not beautiful in the classic sense, and your mind and character shine so brightly that anyone who comes in contact with you is sure to be swept away by the combined force of your intellect and personality. Everyone who meets you falls in love with you, at least for a time -- it's that simple! You are passionate and quite emotional; when you're in love, it is for keeps -- even if only for a week or two! You never let yourself be ruled by "should" or "should not"; you follow your heart and trust that with your considerable brain power, you will work things out as well as you can in the process.

You don't always know what you ought to do in a given situation, but you are willing to follow wherever opportunity may lead you. You are often more successful when reacting to changing circumstances on the spot than when planning ahead. You are surely no stranger to experimentation and improvisation!

Also born on this date are: Celine Dion, singer; Vincent Van Gogh, painter; Eric Clapton, guitarist and singer; M.C. Hammer, rapper; Robbie Coltrane, actor; Piers Morgan, journalist and television host; Norah Jones, singer; Francisco Goya, painter; Tracy Chapman, singer-songwriter; Warren Beatty, actor and filmmaker; John Astin, actor; Peter Marshall, game show host; Paul Reiser, actor and comedian; Frankie Laine, singer-songwriter.

FRIDAY, MARCH 31

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will want to engage all of your intellectual abilities to address a rapidly developing problem on the home front.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Instructions you receive may not make sense, as they do not account for your peculiar situation. You'll have to improvise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A hitch in your plans needn't hold you back for long. You'll quickly discover a way to circumvent what only seems like a major obstacle.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be surprised to learn that more than one person will be involved with you in an upcoming project. Are you in or out?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll throw things out of whack by imposing your own agenda. It would be best to do only what you are asked to do, in the time allotted.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not feel quite yourself as you deal with a situation that challenges you both intellectually and emotionally.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Others are eager to learn the secret to your success, but you're not willing to share every detail. Pick and choose carefully!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your critics are likely to be silenced when you unveil what you've most recently been up to. Resist saying "I told you so"!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's all about the details. Focus on the things that require a very close look, and the big picture will take care of itself.

Your Birthday for March 29, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 29th, 2017

Born today, you are a highly emotional individual. It is virtually impossible for you to see or experience what is going on in any proximity and not react in a deeply personal way. You are quite often overcome by emotion in situations that others might find ordinary or innocuous. Still, you wouldn't have it any other way, for you know that it is these emotional currents that make you who you are. Indeed, who you are is more than an existential state for you; it is in fact the very core of everything you do, whether personal or professional. Along with emotion comes truth: Your emotional identity informs everything in your life -- often to a fault. You are all but incapable of compromise in most situations, and this can, of course, bring you more than your share of conflict.

You know how to take advantage of the odds when they are in your favor, and you take no notice of those who would call you an opportunist -- for surely it is the opportunist who can get things done! You are ambitious and confident -- even perhaps overconfident -- and you crave recognition and respect.

Also born on this date are: Scott Wilson, actor; Lucy Lawless, actress; Elle Macpherson, model; John Popper, singer; Cy Young, baseball player; John Tyler, U.S. president; Brendan Gleeson, actor; Marina Sirtis, actress; Eric Idle, actor and comedian; Christopher Lambert, actor; Pearl Bailey, actress; Jennifer Capriati, tennis player; Annabella Sciorra, actress; Amy Sedaris, actress; Bud Cort, actor; Terry Jacks, singer; Perry Farrell, singer.

THURSDAY, MARCH 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to serve as an intermediary between two parties engaged in a self-made conflict. A solution is at hand -- find it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're not about to be held back, held down, or held up in any way. Once out in the open, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may decide to relinquish control to see what happens when someone else is in the driver's seat -- but only temporarily!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be affected by things in the same way as a friend or loved one. Any conflict that arises as a result can be quickly solved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can do much to improve someone's performance on the social scene. He or she has much to learn, and you're the perfect teacher!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your spirits may not be as bright as expected, but this can be remedied by concentrating on certain key friendship issues.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to engage in something that is wholly foreign to you in order to prove to someone that you're ready for anything.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be asked to do something for which there is little or no time, but you can come up with an acceptable alternative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Random events are hardly random, and a chance encounter is nothing of the kind. You know this to be true, in your heart of hearts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be noticed, surely. If you keep doing what you're doing, you're likely to be publicly acknowledged as well. Is that what you want?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- There are so many questions waiting to be answered that it really doesn't matter where you start -- as long as you do start!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can explore methods other than your favorites, but you're likely to confirm once again that your ways are the best ways for you.

Your Birthday for March 28, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 28th, 2017

Born today, you are driven by a deep-seated urge to make things better -- for yourself, for those around you and, if possible, for the world at large. You are profoundly affected by your environment; you are not just sympathetic to the plights of others, but genuinely empathetic. You are able to feel what they feel, which fuels your desire to cure all ills. In your younger days, there were numerous paths open to you, and you likely explored many of them freely. Not long after, however, while still young but reaching maturity, you will have recognized that you have what some might call a "destiny," and you will have chosen your life path accordingly. Once you start down that road, you will not alter your course for any reason -- certainly not simply because things get difficult! Indeed, you are at your best when you are facing significant challenges of all kinds.

You have a great deal of tenacity, and your longevity is unmatched by anyone else born under your sign. You have what it takes to be one of the greats -- provided that you don't let a certain dark secret rise to the surface and cause you to fall from a great height. If this happens, the most prodigious talent in the world cannot save you!

Also born on this date are: Lady Gaga, singer; Reba McEntire, singer and actress; Vince Vaughn, actor; Julia Stiles, actress; Dianne Wiest, actress; Rick Barry, basketball player; Ken Howard, actor; Maxim Gorky, writer; Nick Frost, actor; Conchata Ferrell, actress.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An important relationship is developing quickly, and you must take care not to put yourself in a subservient position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be frustrated by the lack of choices available to you, but perhaps you're simply not looking in the right places.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A casual conversation provides you with some important information that can make the difference between success and failure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone may not be following the rules, which will make things difficult for you in the process. It's time to protect your boundaries.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You do not intend to do what is considered inappropriate or, worse, illicit, but such a thing may happen by accident. Be prepared.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not appreciate the situation you're in. You have choices to make that will affect how things fall out for those around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Are you responsible for more than your own affairs? This is a question you may be asking yourself all day long, but the answer is unclear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The reaction you get from a friend is likely to baffle you at first -- until you realize that he or she has misinterpreted your intentions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Now is no time to overlook the obvious, for the obvious will be absolutely essential to you as you make a new plan.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have underestimated the capabilities of someone who is no longer on your team. Perhaps you can get him or her back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Important communications must be received, so make yourself available to anyone who may be playing the role of messenger.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Much is changing around you, and you are likely to find yourself in a period of transition as well. A friend will help keep you focused.
